When you have huge colonies you can say look how much they have grown , because mother nautre grew them for you.

any ways well done on the tank .loos great. love the color's just remember if you have some thing that is yellow and you put it under 12k,14,20 k your going to get another color like green. so it may not be you its just the light that you have in your tank.
Yeah I realized the lighting itself has a lot to do with actual coloration of SPS corals, not just how it looks under certain lighting. I sure hope my frags stay healthy and grow. Here's current readings of water condition in my tank -

PH - 8.0
Alkalinity - 6dkh
Calcium - 480ppm
Phosphate - 0
Magnesium - 1290ppm

For some reason Alkalinity is way too low. I just started dosing 2 part from bulk reef supply. I will use the online calculator now to adjust dosing amount.
